Glad you sold yours eastcut someone will be very happy with their purchase. I have thought about thinning my 257 herd but just haven't quite gotten there yet.

The 257 Roberts Classic was only made in 1982, on a short action and never in stainless.
This could be some distributor special but no Remington collector would ever recognize it as a Classic. None were stainless ever.
Sounds like a nice rifle and no doubt is a better rifle than the 82' 257 Bob Classic.
Hard to find anything like this for a tad more than a grand today.
Suggest you check with Roy Marcott to see if Remington ever built any short action cartridge on a long action. I know for a fact that Remington made a special run of these rifles...in stainless, in classic stocks. Local gun store had one in stock. Guy behind the counter bought it. Told me to order...and order fast. The price at that time was less than $600. I thought about it too long. Went in to order, supplies were gone. The guy "behind" the counter still has the rifle. He reminds me of it quite often. Good luck with the sale.

I don't anyone questioned that they made "Special runs" of non cataloged rifles they called "Classic Limited".
Beyond the insults and name calling, the core issue was: "Were they cataloged Remington Classics ?"
They were not.
Congratulations on the sale. I hope the new owner has it rethroated so he can take advantge of the long action.
best to all, Larry

Read the OP again. It was only a "core issue" in your mind.

They were not. You absolutely cast doubt on this guys rifle. You dang sure didn't bring any warm fuzzy good vibes... This is one of the better done for sale listings I've seen here in quite a while. Great pics, detailed description, & box end label pic. Well done. It's a wonder you didn't torpedo the sale. All the best...

Hard to torpedo a sale to a buyer who knows what he is getting. A nice rifle at a fair price. The "doubt" I cast was factual. It was not and never will be a cataloged Remington 700 Classic. It was a limited production special run gun just like the No. 1 I mentioned earlier. Sorry you can't accept the fact that sticking a name on something does not make it what it is not.
Some friendly advice: suggest you stay out of the car collection market.
best to you and yours, Larry

The rifle was not advertised as a cataloged Remington 700 Classic.

You do realize that the limit run classics started in 81 were 'special runs' by Big Green, not much unlike the 'special run' that the OP listed don't you.

That must mean something to somebody.
I note you are afraid to take PMs and, of course, have come up with nothing on your 03A3 accusation.
Texas again.......
Adios.

Adios. Pardon me for not taking threats via PM. I guess you can threaten me here on the thread. Your reputation precedes you and you've been banned way too many times to be worth much of my time. I guess you can use another IP address for another handle and send me a PM. As for me.........I've only needed one username for over 12 years.
